34 Best Cocktail Bars in Jersey City

“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!“

“Beautiful place Great food and Great Drink's and the staff is excellent.“

“Great cocktails, good service. Ambience was alright, somehow less stylish and sexy than I was expecting. Some of the food we ordered was great (ricotta toast, mafaldine pasta, sundae for dessert) a few others were alright but not exceptional. Overall, a very solid 4 stars.“

“Incredible eccentric food. Great cocktail spot.“

“The Roxy provided an incredible evening from start to finish. Our waiter, Bruce, was exceptionally welcoming and brought a warm, inviting energy to our table. We started with the ahi tuna tartare, which was simply fantastic; the freshness and richness of the fish were unmatched, and every bite had the perfect firmness. Following Bruce's recommendation, we also tried the charred octopus, which lived up to its wonderful menu description. The overall quality of the products is clear in every dish, and the wine selection is elegant. We enjoyed a premium glass of wine that, while pricier, was absolutely worth it given the high standards and exceptional experience provided.“

“Fun local bar. Great staff and patrons to hang with!“

“Just got home from our 1st visit. The meal was spectacular. My wife had foie gra mousse and I had the beet salad both were great, entree black bass and duck breast both cooked to perfection the dessert was wonders. Great attentive service. Had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Sadie and the gen. Manager Melanie, they could not have been more accommodating. I highly recommend, parking might be hard to find. I will return and soon, they are going to offer the foo gra in puff pastry, I go just for that. I found it reasonably priced. My wife enjoyed her 70th birthday meal as much as I did.“

The atmosphere to the food and the cocktails , this place is a 10/10 for a date night or even a night out with friends. The aesthetic is so chick and intimate, always a great time. Sammy is amazing, super attentive and always has the best energy. The hospitality here is worth every penny !“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy food!!“

“We recently hosted an event at The Table at 3 Acres and it was exceptional from start to finish. Gina made planning completely stress-free, handling every detail perfectly. Greta and Layla delivered warm, attentive service, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and cared for. Megan was a fantastic bartender, keeping drinks flowing and the atmosphere lively. The food was outstanding—especially the perfectly cooked steak and salmon—and the grazing table was beautifully presented with great variety. The chocolate chip cookies were a hit as well! The venue is stunning, spotless, and perfect for special occasions. We received many compliments from our guests and would highly recommend The Table at 3 Acres for its excellent food, service, and team!“

“🌟 A Hidden Gem That Hits Every Note of Excellence 🌟 From the instant we walked in, we weren’t just welcomed—we were embraced. David, the manager, leads with heart and precision. His cheesecake? Honestly, a revelation. Ruben brought effortless charm and made us feel like VIPs all evening, while Maria’s radiant warmth made the entire experience feel like a celebration. 🍽️ The food was flawless from start to finish. We opened with crab cakes—crispy, golden, and packed with flavor—and grilled octopus so tender it practically melted. My salmon had the perfect crisp and was paired with velvety mashed potatoes. My sister’s seafood platter was generous and bold in flavor, and my niece’s shrimp scampi? Let’s just say I couldn’t keep my fork off her plate. 🎶 The ambiance wrapped it all together—inviting, vibrant, and relaxed. We lingered, laughed, and truly felt at home. 💖 To David, Ruben & Maria: You didn’t just serve us—you made us feel seen. This is what hospitality should look like. 🔥 This was my first visit, and it set the bar HIGH. A local treasure we’ll support again and again. HIGHLY recommended—bring the family, bring your appetite, and bring your heart. ❤️“

“Excellent. Loved the service and the food. My first time visiting from Florida.“

“Great food, good drinks, nice environment, friendly staff.“

“Nice outdoor patio, good food, great location.“

“Great way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family.“

“Love it Definitely need to go. Fun spot.“

“Great Food, Great Service Great Atmosphere. So we were bummed when we saw they closed the original location because how much we loved the place. We were relieved when they announced they were opening up in a much more appropriate and highly upgraded venue. This was perfect timing for us to celebrate our 9 year anniversary here. Upon arriving the inside captures the comfort and style of the Livingston location and then improves upon it with the beautiful outside seating area. Now onto the food which is just as good if not better than the original location im glad to see the quality has remained consistent. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wifes pasta dish was packed with quality flavor. The drink menu was definitely brought to the next level as well everything seemed like it was fine tuned and everything we tried was on point and had its own unique delicious flavor profile. Andy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to talk to about the different cocktails. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great it wasn't youre traditional kind but we loved the spin they put on it with the cake and ice-cream. Lastly for service Jonathan took amazing care of us and made our special day very memorable along with the rest of the staff. Everyone that came by the table was professional and had a smile on their face. They all seemed happy and took pride in their work which was nice to see. We will definitely be returning in the future. I implore anyone that reads this to visit and support this wonderful place.“

“We have been coming to Grace O’Malley’s for years, it’s become our favorite spot to watch big sports games. Consistently yummy bar food and drinks, PLUS one of the only spots with outdoor TVs! Service and vibes are perfect, Shawn is the absolute best and always makes our visit great!!“

“This spot absolutely slaps. The burgers and the mac n cheese with a beer on a weekday after work... SO GOOD! I even get delivery and the food is just as good as when u sit and get it in house. The burgers are so fresh every time so worth it!!!“

“The atmosphere is stunning, and love the aesthetic. It is a true speakeasy vibe that Jersey City has heen missing. You can tell how much the manager/owner cares; dedication oozes through the drinks and decor. Will come here again and again!“

“JJ’s hosted our retreat at the drop of a hat and it was a hit. The food didn’t stop, the host was incredibly kind and patient, & on top of it all the food and drinks were very good. We will definitely be coming back.“

“I'm from Buffalo, so I'm super picky with my wing spots...and I can honestly say, Wing Bar has the best and most authentic wings I've ever tried outside of Buffalo itself. Obviously Buffalo sauce is the best, but the yard bird sauce and garlic parm are up there as well. Amazing smash burgers too! Their food specials change nightly but are always a good deal, plus the $8 beer/house shot combo during happy hour is awesome!

The bartenders are incredibly friendly and seem to remember your name (and drink order!) after only a single visit - no small feat because this place is ALWAYS packed. Kitchen is open late too (1AM), which seems to be rarer and rarer these days...but not at Wing Bar!

Their events are also lots of fun and fit the vibe perfectly. Bingo on Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, and Karaoke Thursdays are huge highlights are usually always busy. Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere. Delicious drinks. Amazing food. Friendly and welcoming service. 10/10“

“My wife and I have fallen in love with JC’s best kept secret that promises to spark a fire and envelope your senses with its ambiance, live music and on point staff. Whether you’re out for an afternoon stroll or dancing through the evening do yourself a favor and stop in for a glass of wine or beer.

P.S. Be sure to ask for Barb when you need a cocktail so good you’ll have to have two.“

“The food is delicious and the service is great. A wonderful place to go with the whole family!“

“Live there good music good vibe beautiful place“

“First time staying at Hyatt House Jersey City. We will stay here again. Great breakfast, awesome views, large rooms, right next to the Path to go to NYC, nice staff, and clean.“

“We came here to watch the Knick’s game. We sat in the outdoor area and watched the screens on the Asbury. The atmosphere was more chill and the service was really good. The food was decent (I really liked the fried pickles and fries), but the fried chicken sandwich was a miss. There was a chicken with the bone on the sandwich, which made it impossible to eat. Chicken itself was good. They had a lot of good drinks to pick from at reasonable prices.“
